Important

This article is VERY old (older than 2 years)!

Trollfest, Bonfire and Herrschaft are joining the lineup!

Created by WackenJasper
12/18/2017

Today we take care of the genres Folk Metal, Hard Rock and Industrial Metal! Furthermore we can announce the next five winners of our big raffle. Don't forget to join the raffle at xmas.wacken.com!

 

Trollfest

The Norwegian Folk Metal Trollfest will be attending W:O:A for the first time in 2018! The name of the band describes the band quite good: The lyrics primarily treat trolls or parties. Or trolls who celebrate a party. It's a little bit hard to tell, because the musicians use the fictional language Trollspråk for their songs - a language invented by themselves which consists primarily of (wrong) German and Norwegian. Skål!

 

Bonfire

The German Hard Rock legend Bonfire will play a very special & exclusively show at Wacken in 2018! The 30th anniversary of their Firework album is coming and the band wants to celebrate this with us and you. Some very special thingsare planned, which we will introduce to you in early 2018. So look forward to the return of Bonfire, who will visit us for the second time after 20 years!

 

Herrschaft

For the Wasteland Stage, we are able to announce the French Industrial / Electro Metal act Herrschaft! The French musicians are rocking the stages since 2004 and in 2018 they will conquer our Wasteland for the first time. We're looking forward to it!

 

And here are the x-mas winners from the 17th of December 2017:

Sven M - Diepenau

Elke U - Korntal-Münchingen

Hergen P - Lüneburg

Konstantinos P - Högrova (CZE)

Ritva A - Turku (FIN)

 

All winners will be informed by email!

 

Tomorrow we will announce the next bands and xmas winners!
